Shaharyar promises team will be held accountable for Asia Cup debacle

PCB chairman says there will be changes in every department, but it will take time

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan said that team administration will be held accountable for the debacle in the Asia Cup 2016.

Pakistan crashed out of the tournament after suffering second defeat against Bangladesh by five wickets on Wednesday.

PCB chairman said that changes will come, but it will take sometime. “Team administration will be held accountable,”said Shaharyar Khan while talking to the media at Gaddaffi Stadium in Lahore. “There will be changes in every department, but it will take time.”



The 81-year-old went on to say that before the World T20, there will be changes in the squad. “I assure you that before the World T20, there will be changes,” said Shaharyar.

The experienced administrator also said that there will be no scapegoats during the accountability, but believes it is necessary as the common public feels let down. “Common public feels lets down, and we also feel the same,” said Shaharyar. “ But there won't be a witch-hunt and there won’t be any scapegoat.”



Shahid Afridi’s men will now travel to India for the World T20, where they will start their campaign on March 16 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata against Qualifier 1.
